Cardiology Video Consultation
Speak to a Consultant Cardiologist Online
Book a private cardiology video consultation with Dr Salam Salloum , (GMC 5209498) Consultant Cardiologist.
This online service is designed for patients who need specialist cardiology advice without travelling to a clinic. It is particularly useful for reviewing symptoms, discussing cardiac test results, obtaining a second opinion, reviewing medication, or deciding whether further investigations or face-to-face assessment are needed. A cardiology video consultation gives you direct access to a Consultant Cardiologist through a remote appointment.
Unlike a telephone consultation, a video appointment allows a more natural face-to-face discussion while still avoiding travel. It can be helpful if you want to talk through symptoms, show home blood pressure readings, discuss reports, or clarify the significance of previous cardiac investigations.
After the consultation, a written clinic letter and management plan can be provided.
What Can Be Reviewed During a Video Consultation?
A video consultation can be used to review a wide range of cardiology concerns, including:
- Chest pain history and risk assessment
- Palpitations and rhythm symptoms
- Breathlessness and exercise limitation
- Dizziness or near-fainting symptoms
- High blood pressure and cardiovascular risk
- Abnormal ECG findings
- Echocardiogram, CT, MRI or rhythm monitor reports
- Medication questions
- Follow-up after hospital attendance
- Known heart conditions requiring review
- Cardiology second opinions
Where needed, Dr Salloum can advise whether further cardiac tests are appropriate, such as ECG, echocardiography, ambulatory rhythm monitoring, blood pressure monitoring, stress testing, cardiac CT or cardiac MRI.
When a Video Consultation Is the Right Choice
A video consultation may be a good option if you need specialist cardiology input but do not necessarily require a physical examination at the first stage.
It may be particularly suitable for:
- Review of previous test results
- Discussion of symptoms and possible causes
- Follow-up after cardiac investigations
- Medication review
- Blood pressure advice
- Cardiovascular risk discussion
- Stable known cardiac conditions
- Cardiology second opinions
- Deciding whether face-to-face assessment is needed
This service is also useful for patients who live outside Peterborough or Corby, have limited time to travel, or prefer an online appointment before arranging further tests.
When You May Need Face-to-Face Assessment Instead
A video consultation is not always the most appropriate option. Some symptoms and clinical situations are better assessed in person, particularly when physical examination is important.
A face-to-face cardiology consultation may be more appropriate if you have:
- A heart murmur requiring clinical examination
- New or worsening breathlessness
- Recurrent blackouts
- Exertional dizziness
- Possible signs of heart failure
- Chest pain requiring direct clinical assessment
- Complex symptoms where examination may change the plan
- A need for clinic-based ECG or other investigations
If a face-to-face review is needed, this can be discussed during the video consultation and arranged where appropriate either at Peterborough, or Corby clinics.
Online Review of ECGs, Scans and Cardiac Test Results
Many patients book a cardiology video consultation because they have already had tests and want a specialist explanation of the results.
A video consultation can be used to discuss:
- ECG reports
- Echocardiogram reports
- Ambulatory heart rhythm monitor results
- Blood pressure monitor results
- Blood test results relevant to cardiology
- Cardiac CT or CT coronary angiogram reports
- Cardiac MRI reports
- Hospital discharge summaries
- Previous cardiology clinic letters
Please send relevant documents before the appointment where possible. This allows a more focused consultation and helps Dr Salloum provide a clearer opinion.
